Hit exactly 307 steps on my basement stairs and it made me rethink energy

So I was counting my basement steps for no real reason last week (I do weird stuff when I'm bored, okay?) and I hit exactly 307. That got me thinking about how mainstream science says energy can't be created or destroyed, right? But what if we're measuring it wrong or missing something huge? I've been reading about how the number 3 and 7 show up in weird places like sound frequencies and water molecules. 307 is a prime number too, which feels important for some reason. Has anyone else stumbled on a number that made you question the basic laws of physics or energy?

Honestly, I gotta push back on this idea that "numbers like that always feel like they're trying to tell you something." Tbh, picking 307 steps out of thin air and deciding it's special feels more like our brains just wanting to find patterns where there aren't any. Like sure, 3 and 7 show up in sound frequencies and molecules, but so does every other number if you dig deep enough. Prime numbers aren't a secret code from the universe, they're just numbers that can't be divided evenly. If I count 52 steps and decide it means something because that's how many weeks are in a year, does that prove energy works differently? No, it just proves I'm good at connecting random dots.

Ngl, numbers like that always feel like they're trying to tell you something. 307 popping up right when you're paying attention is the kind of thing that makes you wonder if there's a hidden pattern in everything, like how certain license plates seem to follow you around all day.
